Starlight Between Worlds

Astrid has always believed the universe is hiding something.

She just never imagined it would find her.

Phoenix lives carefully on Earth - quiet, distant, and wrapped in a life that isn't truly his. To everyone else, he's just another stranger passing through the world.

In truth, he is something far more dangerous.

A fugitive prince from a dying star system.
The last heir to a war that has already consumed worlds.
A man who was never meant to be found.

Meeting Astrid was not part of the plan.

But something about her unsettles the careful walls he's built around himself. The more time they spend together, the more the distance between them begins to collapse - and with it, the secret he has sworn never to reveal.

Because the universe hasn't forgotten him.

Lights move where no stars should be.
Strangers appear who seem to know too much.
And Phoenix can feel it - the hunters who have been searching the galaxy for him are finally closing in.

If they find him, the truth will come with them.

And Earth will no longer be just another quiet planet in the dark.
